Question from last lesson

Where does information go after transduction and how does it get there? (2marks)

After transduction, the sensory information has been converted into a form that is able to be relayed via neurons. This is referred to as transmission (1 mark). This process sends the sensory information as action potentials/nerve impulse to relevant areas of the brain (1 mark).
